“Painted stars”

Love-love-love these - all 6 designs are beautifully painted with vibrant colors. These are not just for Christmas, I will display them year-round maybe with the moon ornaments I plan to purchase.

“These Eclipse Ornaments Remind Me Of My Son”

My son passed away in an accident in August 2023. He loved astronomy and had a telescope he loved to share with us. He wasnt here on earth to see the two eclipses last year, but I know he had a marvelous view of them from heaven! These ornaments will always remind me that he is still with us and is busy exploring the wonders of the universe!
